Tossa de Mar: Raya mosaico (Mosaic stingray)

This is perhaps the most beautiful fish, and one of the most beautiful animals, I´ve ever seen in the Mediterranean.  We´ve found them all along the Costa Brava at certain times of the year.  They cover themselves with sand while they rest.  If discovered, they usually stay put.  We´ve taken close-ups of their eyes, which you´ll see in other photos.  I always feel happy when I see one of these.
